Cup: YB continue with a bang in Vevey, St.Gallen win in Paradiso

In the second round of the Swiss Cup, FC Langenthal knocked Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, a club two leagues higher, out of the competition. The representatives of the Super League are still holding themselves harmless – the closest thing for Winterthur was in Wil.

Vevey – YB 2:4

The Swiss champions only avoided embarrassment in the final minutes. Double goalscorer Ilyes Chaïbi for Vevey, who plays in the Promotion League, made a difference from a 0-2 deficit in the 73rd minute. Should YB, bottom of the league without a win after six rounds, also disappoint in the cup?
